Publisher's Synopsis
The contributions of the volume focus on the First World War from a gender perspective, whereby the complex relationship between the front and the home front is just as much a topic as the experiences of violence, the forms of visualization and literarization of the First World War and the effects of the war on Concepts of soldiery and bourgeoisie. This focus is supplemented by the edition of a memory report by a US bomber pilot of the Second World War, as well as an essay by Franz Karl Stanzel on the connection between "Nemesis" and the sinking of battlecruisers in the Second World War
